This post from The Forum could generate some interesting ideas. Can y’all can help a fellow Brownstoner brainstorm about his house-to-be.

My wife and I may have just happened into a house-sized plot of land in Carroll Gardens. (I know… I can’t believe it either) Not historic Carroll Gardens, but a nice part of the neighborhood. I am wondering if anyone has any nice examples of new townhouse construction that fits well into a brick and brownstone neighborhood with a few modern touches? The idea of modular has also come up, although I haven’t seen much in the way of urban modular architecture that would be appropriate for the site.
